Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

I know the poster makes it look animated, but this is a live action movie. It comes from the man behind the bands Misfits and Danzig. Which is to say, he's not a filmmaker. Or wasn't until recently. So even if you've set your expectations low, this sounds like a truly terrible movie.

I haven't seen it, but I found a review:

There isn’t really a story to be found in Death Rider in the House of Vampires; just a setup that allows a bunch of characters to interact. Sometimes there’s a shootout; sometimes vampires are turned to dust.
...
There is no economy of storytelling here. Or ever. These opening ten minutes of screen time could easily be combined into three or four, and Death Rider would be better for it. It’s true throughout the film’s 90-minute runtime – there’s maybe an hour of material that’s been padded out

So I'd only recommend this to fans of Weird West who have a high tolerance for terrible movies. Here's a trailer. I can't find it streaming anywhere though.

Does not appear to be on any streaming services. Did find a website with it on DVD and Blu Ray. Might give it a try.

It's a shame it isn't on any streaming service. I wouldn't mind watching it but I definitely don't need to own it on DVD.
